After his re-election as party leader, as well as his election to the top seat on Hadash's party list, Barakeh joined Hana Sweid (who was elected to the second spot on the party list) in announcing that they both intended to leave the Knesset in two years, planning to hand power in the party over to others lower on the party list.[2]
